from the sportsline write up, so, at least one other guy has thrown 6 and lost
It was just the third time in NFL history that two QBs threw five TD passes in the same game. Oakland's Tom Flores (6) and Houston's George Blanda (5) both did it on Dec. 22, 1963, and Billy Kilmer of New Orleans (6) and Charley Johnson of St. Louis (6) also did on Nov, 5, 1969.

How about being the losing QB in this classic:
On September 13, 1992, the duo again hooked up. This time, it took place in San Francisco as the Buffalo Bills battled the 49ers. Jim Kelly threw for a career-high 403 yards while Steve Young responded with 449 yards through the air. Both quarterbacks had three touchdown passes on the day. The two teams combined for 1,086 yards of total offense in the only game in NFL history that had no punts.
